  1. Interesting, they remind me of those twin gal’s that were a short side story. Uh oh, Liri’s got the bloodlust now. They really pulled all the stops here. Then Mentl shows up and starts singing “Goodness gracious great balls of fire” flame shoots from his hands setting those 2 and all the Urrts ablaze… One can hope anyway.

    1. Heh. Stay tuned, kids. Things are about to get interesting, I think.

      Warm regards,

      1. Wiggidy Miggidy Mack Daddy

        JED, I just want to say I have sincerely enjoyed your webcomic. I’ve been following for more than 10 years and I love your story-telling and your artwork. I know you have had health issues that have slowed you down, but I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the incredible work you have poured into this story and the commitment you have shown through the years. I sincerely hope you are encouraged by your fans and supported emotionally as you recover. This comic has outlived my marriage of 32 years that ended in divorce, and I can only hope for a Zona to worship of my own one day.

  2. ‘Oy vey’? Zona, did you pick that up from Mentl? O.o
    “They aren’t just ogres. They are *goyim* ogres!”

    1. Yes, Zona has actually used that phrase before in the comic. And of course she picked it up, and other bits of Yiddishkeit, from Mentl and his family.
      🙂
      Warm regards,
      JED

      1. Well, Liri may be about to conduct a Two-for-one Bris!

  3. Of course, what else? 😛 Liri is ready to test herself and her shiny new weapons.

  4. I gotta say, I like Liri’s attitude. I sure as Hell hope it doesn’t bite her on the sweet ass of hers!

  5. “Liri Smash..”

  6. Cue Feeby and Mahd!

  7. As a lifelong student of fiction (and with an MA in Creative Writing and MA in Teaching English Language Arts to back it up), what I find fascinating is that we, the audience, know that Zona, Liri, Mentl, et al., will win the day. The outcome is predetermined based on the type of story it is. What we don’t know, as an audience, is HOW they’ll win the day. It really says something about the human condition that, in our storytelling, we care far more about the journey than the destination (so long as the destination doesn’t feel like a rug pull). That’s from a literary perspective, of course. From an analytical perspective, we know that:
    a) Mentl is super powerful and hasn’t shown up yet;
    b) other powerful allies, such as Vito, haven’t shown up yet;
    c) (and, in my opinion, most importantly), Mentl and Zona’s daughter (Rachel? It’s been a hot minute) exists and knows both of her parents.

    (Analyzing a barbarian soap opera webcomic – gods, can you tell I used to work in national intelligence. I have a very weird background, I know.) Anyway, combined, these factors indicate that the Moon Tribe alliance will win out in the end. The question that remains is HOW that will happen. And that is a question I have been tuning in for… *checks watch* …over 17 years to discover the answer to.

    I hope your health and general life situation continues to improve, JED. You do good work, and I’m quite sure there are a lot of people who are looking forward to the finale of your passion project (of which I am most certainly one).

    1. I doubt both Rachel or Vito will get involved, Vito has faith in Mentl and after the chewing out she got from Daddy after stealing her mom’s sword and time jumping I doubt she’ll risk it again. There’s still Zone’s dad’s group to arrive, I think this is the big push by the Urrts, so it’s going to be all hands in.

  8. Just want to point out that the comic itself is now 21 years old and old enough to drink.

    1. So, too many hang-overs then? 😛

  9. Appreciate the step-by-step breakdown. Very beginner friendly.

  10. Nobody has said it yet so, here goes; “Pink skirts?” Really? JED, you run out of Black, Brown or Red? 😉

    1. Historically, Pink was a warrior’s colour. due to being close to blood.

    2. It makes them feel pretty.
      😉
      Regards,

      JED

      1. I’m so pretty! I’m so pretty! 😆
        Seriously though, bright colors stand out on the battlefield, and those two DEFINITELY don’t want to blend in! My guess is since ogres are sort of elite troops, I’m guessing these two count as heroes for the Uurts. Not to mention a certain flaming fuck skull’s attempt at his own (per)version of the giantkin.

  11. Every time I open this page in Firefox, my Nortons chucks a fit.
    “Siege-close.com” a URL: Botnet seems to be living here.

  12. AFAIK we have no current problems with malware, etc.
    Go ahead and clear your cache if you haven’t. I don’t have any problems ATM in either Chrome or Edge.

    Regards,

    JED

    1. Can confirm.
      AV was triggering on something in normal Firefox whenever visiting here, which wasn’t occurring in private browsing, nor in Chrome nor Edge .
      Cleared cache for this website only, and no subsequent AV triggering.

  13. Scratch my earlier reply about everything being ok!
    Just had my AV trigger today as well.
    1st attempt to access the site resulting in AV alert about a script-based Trojan Horse (accompanied with the page not rendering as expected). Having clicked to reply, I was then presented with a correctly rendered page, but also another AV alert, this time about a botnet apparently originating from fashion-chicken.com.
    For reference, this second alert is identical to the one that was triggered yesterday.
    This has taken several attempts to actually reply, as once the trojan and botnet alerts have happened, subsequent attempts to access the site (such as clicking on send reply!) fail and require a clearing of the cache to resolve.

    1. Godaddy support said it was with some WordPress plugin. Found a couple I didn’t immediately recognize, and deactivated.
      Honesty, this stuff is tiresome beyond endurance …

      Warm regards,

      JED

      1. Unfortunately, eternal vigilance is still the price of freedom (liberty).

      2. My AV keeps blocking the site, claiming a Trojan is present. This is the first time I was able to get in to comment.

        1. Try clearing your cache.
          I’m not getting the Trojan alert any more, but the fashion-chicken.com BotNet is still there.
          Not sure where it’s originating from, as a search of the client-side code only shows it in my comment. Probably, there’s something pointing to an apparently-harmless site that does the actual redirect.

      3. Hello! I am a security analyst investigating this malicious domain “fashion-chicken[.]com”. As of today, 8/17/2026 4:28PM CT, this website is seemingly still making callouts to “fashion-chicken[.]com”.

        I am but a meager analyst, but I did want to recommend that you remove all suspicious/unknown WP plugins again, as WELL as resetting your admin credentials and investigating any other new/unknown admin users and removing them as well. That would help prevent the intrusion from happening again, as that is likely how they are regaining access.

        Apologies for the unsolicited advice if it caused offense, I wish you luck!

    2. I’m also getting the warning from Norton about blocking fashion-chicken.com as a dangerous web site.

  14. Both RSS feed links, the “entries feed” and “comment feed” returns the same feed result: the comments feed, no wonder i have not gotten any updates on the comics itself in a while 🙂

  15. Oh, good. The page loads normally again. First time in a while it’s not messed up.

  16. Guys, there’s something wacky going on with the page. I just got done url fighting with something trying to force a “Google Update” apk. I’m using a Silk browser.

    1. SanBernInATL –
      We just got done fixing the site. I am not seeing any problems loading at the moment, and all my scans are coming up negative.
      Using Firefox, Edge, Safari and DuckDuckGo .
      Let me know if clearing your cache does it, or if anyone else sees something similar.

      This is seriously getting old.

      Regards,
      JED

      1. I second the part about Firefox and Edge. The page is loading properly as far as I can see, and it’s taking this comment, also.
        Eric Hines

        1. Can also confirm for Firefox and Edge.
          Also, no issues in Chrome on both Windows and Android. Silk browser uses the same core and scripting engines as Chrome on Android, so it seems most likely to be residue that a cache clean-up should resolve.

          On an unrelated note, and this is just an observation and not in any way a criticism, in Chrome for Android replying to existing comments seems to only be available when the screen orientation is landscape not portrait. I thought I’d mention it, as this was the first time I’d been on the site via my Android device.

  17. Page loads fine for me. Good work, everyone involved!

  18. 3 months since last update. You OK, JED? Heads down in animation?

    1. Wondering that myself!

NEW PDF ARCHIVE

Our ongoing incompatibility issues with the new WordPress are still not worked out, and I am afraid I might have to just redo the whole site again, but until I absolutely have to do that, I have this kludgy workaround.

VDSD – 2021 (barbarianprincess.com)

See at the top menu on the right, “, I have converted the entire history of the web comic into a series of yeary PDF files that any one can download.

It’s not elegant, kind of a brute force workaround, but at least you all now can really start at the beginning and read the whole thing at your leisure.

Many thanks for your patience, and with hopes of a permanent solution in the near future.

Warmest regards,

JED

Zona Animation: Morning Exercises V2

In this, the final version we’re doing of this proof-of-concept video, Brian put in more fancy stuff and fixes and attention to wonderful details.  Now we dive into production of the actual product, beginning a trailer for the series itself with all the new elements and knowledge we have put together so far.    

Rubbing my hands with glee.   

Warm regards,

We’re On The Road!

We are moving from California to Connecticut, and we’re driving with the dogs and cat and so for the next couple of weeks the updates are going to be sporadic, and communication with you all might drop out. Never fear, we will return as surely as the sun rises and sets on our VW camper van. Still, I might have a little surprise for you Thursday or Friday. Stay tuned!
Warmest regards,

Animated Zona – Final version for Unreal Engine

This is the final version of Zona in Unreal Engine before we begin full production on the trailer.  Long time coming.  Brian’s outdone himself, IMHO.

She breathes, she moves, she inhabits the space.  Next update will have her in full-on sword-slinging action.   Brian wanted to show her being something other than angry and hulked out, so he imagined her swooning at the sight of Mentl.  I said that’s not really how the story goes, but it could be her first sight of Mentl naked, which is, well … long-time Zonaphiles know about Mentl’s Pride. 

This is the realization of a dream I’ve had for a very long time, to bring Zona and Mentl fully to life in an animated series telling their story. Romance, violence, adventure and sexy stuff! Thanks to all of you for your support, and especially to all the Patreon Patrons for the generosity that they have shown and continue to show.

GAME CHANGER: UNREAL ENGINE

Zonaphiles:

We have been at this for a long time now, and using Daz Studio for animation is adequate, but we needed much much more than it could deliver in order to do justice to Zona’s world. So we have ported all the Daz character assets into Unreal Engine, and Brian is finding that this is not only more realistic than we could have realized before in Daz, but also so much faster that he has accomplished more in six weeks than he did in six months before – maybe more. For myself I could not possibly be more pleased. This is a huge game changer!

This little teaser is a taste of what we will be making the series look like. It’s just the prelude to the opening scene where Mentl comes upon the Urtts. In 2021 the real stuff begins.

Until then, judge and compare the previous efforts to what Brian’s doing now.

Enjoy, and don’t forget, the patrons on Patreon.com/jedraft are going to see more sooner and enjoy additional benefits and rewards as well!

NOTE ALL:
We recommend that the video be watched in at least 1440 at 60fps for full effect.
Auto video quality in Youtube is set to much lower than that due to a decision on behalf of Youtube to decrease playback quality as a response to the increased use of broadband during the current crisis.


There are however, some ways to defeat this, as detailed in the video here:

At Last! “Challenges Of Zona – Confessions” Visual Novel

A woman with long hair and big breast in front of purple background.

Frigging finally, after hours and hours of solitary toil to make a visual novel/game of Zona (including an abortive attempt to export it which meant I had to practically recreate it from scratch) I have a 0.01 beta version as a demo. It is short and a bit rough around the edges, but I hope you all have fun with it.

Set in the master bedroom of the Hollywood mansion right after their engagement party, it’s where Zona confesses to her new silver-bonded Mentl the one thing that she has been keeping to herself forever.

In a way, this returns Zona to her origins in the adult find-your-path books she was created for, as the visual novel medium is just a higher tech version of that. Also, it’s very dirty. Definitely NOT safe for work.

I think of this as a “proof of concept” for one more product and direction we can take the characters and reward my wonderful Zonaphiles. Frankly, I think she lends herself to this medium pretty handily.

A one dollar patronage at patreon.com/JEDraft gets you access to this and much more!

Warm regards,

JED
